My favorite part that really hit me was the beginning when the rabbi asks the scholars “Where does God dwell?” And they laugh and reply “God is everywhere, of course. “ But the rabbi disagreed and told them “God dwells wherever man lets him in.” That’s such a powerful statement. I agree and disagree to some extent. Yes, you should believe in God in order to let him in, but isn’t he already in all of us? And isn’t he suppose to love and help everyone?
“In our human existence physical health is a good thing; and indeed it is a blessing not only to know the reasons for good health but actually to enjoy it. Now suppose a man should speak the praises of good health and then proceed to take food that was unwholesome and contained unhealthy juices. What good would his praise of health be, when he himself was afflicted with disease?” He makes such a good point that I can’t even say anything in return. How can we mistreat the bodies we’ve been born with? Most of us slowly kill our bodies with alcohol, cigarettes, and greasy heart clogging delicious foods. It’s horrible, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to change. Maybe the devil is in all of our fast food. Temptations are no good.
